No.00269 zsoltvasvari Developer Mar 20, 2008, 00:58	This is for sure not an emulation bug. The code that adds 60 to your score is at 0xdd03. There are also no "unknowns" about this hardware -- every memory location is understood and mapped as well as interrupt timing. So the only possibility for this to be a bug is a broken 6502 undocumented opcode.
No.00271 Tafoid Administrator Mar 20, 2008, 01:59	I'll set this as a possible bug then.
No.04156 outerworld Tester Apr 8, 2009, 00:51	I own an Astro Fighter game and this symptom appears on the actual game hardware - not a bug (in mame at least).
No.04158 Tafoid Administrator Apr 8, 2009, 00:54	Awesome - I'll set it as BTANB. We appreciate the report.
